Do you need help?

We understand that sometimes life feels difficult or that maybe you're dealing with some pretty heavy stuff. If you're feeling down or that maybe you need help, it's important that you first talk to an adult that you trust. If you don't know anyone personally who can help you, there are many websites available to those who might be experiencing problems with abuse, threats, bullying, depression, eating disorders - just about anything.

Here are a few examples:

Australia: www.kidshelp.com.au

Canada: www.kidshelpphone.ca

UK: www.nspcc.org.uk, www.thinkuknow.co.uk, www.childnet-int.org, www.barnardos.org.uk

www.childline.org.uk

USA: www.childhelp.org, www.pamf.org/teen, www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org, suicidehotlines.com/national.html

NZ: www.youthline.co.nz

Other countries: www.chiworld.org, www.inhope.org, www.saferinternet.org

We know Stardoll is fun - we love to play on it as much as you do!

But it's important to think about other things in life, like playing a sport or doing homework or having dinner with your family. So always practice responsible gaming and remember that we'll always be here for you! Contact us if you need a referral to a game addiction specialist.

If someone sends you messages or images that are indecent, lewd, or obscene with the intent to abuse annoy, harass, or threaten you, or if you become aware of the transmission, use, or viewing of child pornography while online immediately report this to the NCMEC's CyberTipline at 1-800-843-5678 or www.cybertipline.com (US), or ceop.police.uk (UK) or www.virtualglobaltaskforce.com (for other countries).

Immediately report other users to Stardoll if they ask you to do dares etc in exchange for free Stardollars and/or Superstar membership. Also report users who ask you to move the conversation to other chat rooms away from Stardoll especially if it involves a webcam.
